UMB DISCUSSES THE TROLLEY PROJECT
The Proposed Hcmpstcad-East
Rockaway Line Would be
Costly, He Tells Citizens
PLEDGES His SUPPORT TO PROMOTORS
Building Suburban Lines a Form
of Philanthropy in Which He
Has Indulged
Roland M. Lamb, of Freeport, upon the Invitation of the Croas Island Trolley Apfeociation, addressed a meet¬ ing of Interested citizens last night at the office of William McMurray, Park avenue, Kockvlllo Centre, upon the subject of trolleys and traction In gen- eral and while he declined to take an active Interest In the prouiolion cf the trolley line between Hempstead and East KocKaway, he pledged his sup¬ port to the project aud olXcred to eup- yly luapa and to give conacnls which he secured five yeiirs ago for the pur¬ pose.
Mr. I.>anib characterized trolley building in Eubiiiban Long Inland ab a form of philanthropy hi which he had indulged to a considerable extent in the villaKO of Kreepo:;t. He hoped that the cross island trolley would be built, but frankly admitted that he could not undertake the finautlal responfsibiiiiy of Us promotion.
It was the suggestion of Mr. Lamb that the association with J. T. White £ Co., of Manhattan, who make a spe¬ cialty of promoting railroad and other business enterprises when local capi¬ talists were not in a position to do so.
The distance to be covered by the proposed line, Mr. Lamb figured wa.s about sl.\ miles, and he figured that It would cost at least $125,000 to build It. This eetinuite he said doea not in¬ clude rolllij& stock and power houBft. The price of the cars would be about 13,000 apiece, according to the Kree¬ port railroad manager, and it would be necesaary to have at least five.
"Thft rubJic Service Conimlseion will Inllst that a ninety pound girder rail be laid instead of a "T" rail, the average weight of which is sixty pounds," said Mr. Lamb. "The New York and Long Island Traction Com¬ pany, in spite of their assertion that they are not making any money, are conducting an increasing busincKS. This compsny would likely oppose the building of the line."
A communication from a Mr. Ciil- chester, piomoter of the cross island trolley between Patchogue and Port Jefferson, was read'at the meeting. It is stated that the cost of that road was $7,000 a mile. Mr. Lamb dis¬ agreed with eastern promoter and stated that conditions \\ere of an en¬ tirely different In the two places
Upon the basis of 160.000 miles. traveled by the cars during the first year, Mr. LaHib estimated that the running expenses ; would be about $20,000. He flgurdd that the territory was Inhabited by about 30,000 people and that the receipts for the year should be about $35,000.

The Proposed Hcmpstcad-East
Rockaway Line Would be
Costly, He Tells Citizens
PLEDGES His SUPPORT TO PROMOTORS
Building Suburban Lines a Form
of Philanthropy in Which He
Has Indulged
Roland M. Lamb, of Freeport, upon the Invitation of the Croas Island Trolley Apfeociation, addressed a meet¬ ing of Interested citizens last night at the office of William McMurray, Park avenue, Kockvlllo Centre, upon the subject of trolleys and traction In gen- eral and while he declined to take an active Interest In the prouiolion cf the trolley line between Hempstead and East KocKaway, he pledged his sup¬ port to the project aud olXcred to eup- yly luapa and to give conacnls which he secured five yeiirs ago for the pur¬ pose.
Mr. I.>anib characterized trolley building in Eubiiiban Long Inland ab a form of philanthropy hi which he had indulged to a considerable extent in the villaKO of Kreepo:;t. He hoped that the cross island trolley would be built, but frankly admitted that he could not undertake the finautlal responfsibiiiiy of Us promotion.
It was the suggestion of Mr. Lamb that the association with J. T. White £ Co., of Manhattan, who make a spe¬ cialty of promoting railroad and other business enterprises when local capi¬ talists were not in a position to do so.
The distance to be covered by the proposed line, Mr. Lamb figured wa.s about sl.\ miles, and he figured that It would cost at least $125,000 to build It. This eetinuite he said doea not in¬ clude rolllij& stock and power houBft. The price of the cars would be about 13,000 apiece, according to the Kree¬ port railroad manager, and it would be necesaary to have at least five.
"Thft rubJic Service Conimlseion will Inllst that a ninety pound girder rail be laid instead of a "T" rail, the average weight of which is sixty pounds," said Mr. Lamb. "The New York and Long Island Traction Com¬ pany, in spite of their assertion that they are not making any money, are conducting an increasing busincKS. This compsny would likely oppose the building of the line."
A communication from a Mr. Ciil- chester, piomoter of the cross island trolley between Patchogue and Port Jefferson, was read'at the meeting. It is stated that the cost of that road was $7,000 a mile. Mr. Lamb dis¬ agreed with eastern promoter and stated that conditions \\ere of an en¬ tirely different In the two places
Upon the basis of 160.000 miles. traveled by the cars during the first year, Mr. LaHib estimated that the running expenses ; would be about $20,000. He flgurdd that the territory was Inhabited by about 30,000 people and that the receipts for the year should be about $35,000.
